Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness

Intro

Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness is an arcade game produced by Capcom in 1994 where the pilots fight each other using mechs. The mecha in this game are a mix of the mecha parts used in the scrolling fighter Armored Warriors. It was ported to the Sega Saturn and the Sony PlayStation.
In the game the player first chooses the pilot and then a Variant Armor (VA for short) they'll use to fight. The mecha determine the mechanics of the game, but the pilot is what determines the storyline the player will see.

Story

Near the end of the 21st century Earth begins to become over populated leading to many people living in man made space colonies. The primary army of Earth, "Earth Force", has been conducting experiments and their work, along with the actions of the playable characters will determine the future of Earth.

Variant Armors

Variant Armors are the mechs you play as, categorized into four main types as well as boss types.
